Annrt Children.

There are so many smart children nova
days that parents do not like to think their
children are below the average, and to them
a child that is not clever, or smart, which is
the usual epithet applied to most little ones,
is of little account in their estimation
Smart children are in great demand. They
are placed on exhibition on every possible
occasion, and their sayings and doings are
repeated to visitors for their amusement,
and to the children's delight The little
ones are close observers and also very cor
rect imitators, and like to be thought bright
and clever. They will initiate the manners
and sayings of older people to the life
Some parents like to have their children do
so, and frequently the little ones are re
quested when there are visitors at the
house, TO show them how Mrs. c. or Uncle
So and So does this or that. The parents
are congratulated upon the children's clev
erness. They are so cunning, they say ;
cunning they may appear for the time be-
ing, but what il cunning and cute when the
little ones are very small, WILL when they
are larger grown, if not checked before,
most assuredly be impudence. Parents of
such children wonder, after the little ones
have outgrown their childish cutoness, why
it is that they really appear impudent.
They never think that the children have
not an idea of being impertinent. They
have been so accustomed to being praised
and admired for these same doings and say
ings when very little, they cannot under
stand why at later age they must be call
ed impertinent. 1t is not strange that they
cannot understand the difference between
impudence and cuteness, for many of the
parents do not appear to recognize it. They
will laugh at bright expression from a
child which if uttered by an older person
would be any thing but laughing matter.
1t is too bad that they should so far forget
themselves as to encourage by look or man
ner anything in "A child when young for
which they will have TO reprimand it when
it has grown older. They are unjust to
themselves and the little one.
THE mothers face is the childs mirror, "
and very early the little one learns TO look
in this for appreciation of its every word
and action. From this mirror does the
child learn, long before it can speak, its
first lessons of right and wrong. In the
mothers arms it lies just beginning to no
tice in fit of petulance the little hand is
raised to strike a reproving look comes

In a recent bulletin, Prof Sanborn gives
the result of recent feeding tests with pigs
He finds that for pound of grain large
hog, weighing $50 pounds say, requires
twice as much food as one that weighs fifty
pounds, and that in general the cost of a
pound of growth, instead of being less
after $50 pounds is reached, as is generally
believed in, is always greater. Having
shown that the simple maintenance ration
of 100 pound shoat may be less than two
per cent. of its weight, the tests prove that
a slight advance upon this amount of food
makes n comparatively smaller increase of
weight than where sufficient food is given
to make pound or a little more day
That is, it is economy to feed young pigs
up to that limit. The food needed for this
growth is less than that needed for pure
maintenance, and, therefore, the economy
of quick fattening. The daily growth in
creases up to weight of $50 to 200 pounds
and the cost of u pounds growth increases
with size until maturity, after which this
cost increases most rapidly. Continuous
growth up to the limit of a pound a day
is better than to have examining periods
The sum of the matter is that it is mos
profitable to market pigs young, and tina
every shoat over eight or nine months ole
should be banished, In regard to specif,
foods it appears that skimmilk and meal
are the most effective rations fed, tina
middlings is the best single food, and tina
cob meal, when the cobs are finely ground
are as efficient food as clear corn meal.

over the mothers face the tiny hand falls
without striking the little head nestles
closer, and into the baby eyes comes Il
grave and thoughtful expression. Baby
has received its first lesson and is reasoning
as only babies can. Little by little other
lessons are learned in the same way, until
to the child the mothers face is the critic
rion of its every word and action. If
mothers would more fully realize this truth,
they would hesitate and think many times,
ere by laugh or sign of any kind they en-
couraged the children in the bringing out
of trait for which they know full well
they will have TO reprimand and quite fire.
quenty punish them in after years Does
the qualification of hearing child called
smart or cunning justify the mother when
it has grown older in furnishing it for her
negligence Certainly not There is no
Justification for her No, mother, no mat
ter what her station, can Afford simply for
the mere qualification of her own personal
vanity, or the entertainment of friends or
visitors, to he unjust to herself and child,
ooh, many mothers carelessly say, "they
will grow out of it in little while they
don't know any better now time enough
to break them of it when they are older. :"
It never occurs TO these women that what
they condemn AS bad habits they themselves
are responsible for, by their encourage
ment, planting and fostering in the chill
dren's minds the convictions that these
same habits were something to be admired
and praised by every one.
Habits are not easy things to drop even
by grown people. Few people can success
fully drop a habit formed for any length of
time. Even though they know it is for
their good most people find it very hard
work and exceedingly disagreeable to give
up some one custom or habit to which they
have been addicted If it is so hard and
trying for grown people, what must it be
for the little ones They have been accus-
toned to think the possession of these hab-
its were accomplishments, and they are
told they are wrong and they must give
them up. This must be very confusing to
their minds, and it is not to be wondered if,
in the attempt at reconstruction, their ideas
of right and wrong get wofully mixed.
Very often the parents neglect to alter
habits at ALL and the children grow up i'm
pudent and impertinent, although ignorant
ly so.
Impudent children are not liked by any
body. They are very disagreeable compan-
ions for children or older people. The lat
ter may pity them, and, in their own hearts,
accuse the parents of neglect, but this is of
little advantage to the children, and the
little ones grow up disliked and avoided,
where, but for the parents negligence, they
might have had happy, joyous childhood

To tell the age Of any horse,

And every doubt and fear dspel

Before the colt is two weeks old;
Before eight weeks two more will come;
Eight months the corners" cut the gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in just one year;
In two years from the second pair;
In three the corners, too, are bare
AT two the middle "nippers" drop;
Al three the second pair can't stop;
When four years old the third pair goes;
AT five full new set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from view
At six years from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years;
At eight the spot each corner" clears.

That labor disgraces no man, while man

That the strongest men are often the

That life is too short to be spent in mind
